Nā ngā mahi a Te Whare Wānanga o Wisconsin-Madison, kei te ara ake tētahi wā hou o ngā raraunga huarere i Wisconsin.
Mai i te tekau tau atu i 1950, kua piki haere te kore e taea te matapae me te tino kino o te huarere o Wisconsin, ā, kua puta he raruraru mō ngā kaimahi pāmu, ngā kairangahau me te marea. Engari me te whatunga o ngā teihana huarere puta noa i te kawanatanga e mōhiotia ana ko te mesonet, ka pai ake te kaha o te kawanatanga ki te aro atu ki ngā whakararuraru a meake nei nā te huringa āhuarangi.
"Ka taea e ngā whare iti te ārahi i ngā whakataunga o ia rā e tiaki ana i ngā hua, i ngā rawa me ngā oranga o te tangata, me te tautoko i te rangahau, te whakawhānui me te mātauranga," te kī a Chris Kucharik, he mema kaiako, he ahorangi me te heamana o te Tari Pūtaiao Ahuwhenua i UW-Madison i te mahi tahi me Nelson. Ecological Institute. Kei te ārahi a Kucharik i tētahi kaupapa nui hei whakawhānui i te whatunga mesonet o Wisconsin, me te āwhina a Mike Peters, te kaiwhakahaere o te Teihana Rangahau Ahuwhenua o UW-Madison.
He iti noa iho te whatunga o ngā teihana aroturuki taiao o Wisconsin i tēnei wā, he rerekē i te maha atu o ngā whenua ahuwhenua. Tata ki te haurua o ngā teihana aroturuki huarere me te oneone 14 kei te Teihana Rangahau o te Whare Wānanga o Wisconsin, ko ētahi atu kei roto i ngā māra tūmataiti i ngā rohe o Kewaunee me Door. Kei te rongoahia ngā raraunga mō ēnei teihana i Mesonet i te Whare Wānanga o te Kāwanatanga o Michigan i tēnei wā.
I ngā rā kei te heke mai, ka nekehia ēnei teihana aroturuki ki tētahi mesonet motuhake kei Wisconsin e mōhiotia ana ko Wisconet, ka whakapiki ake i te tapeke o ngā teihana aroturuki ki te 90 kia pai ake ai te aroturuki i ngā rohe katoa o te kawanatanga. I tautokona tēnei mahi e te putea $2.3 miriona mai i te Wisconsin Rural Partnership, he kaupapa a te Whare Wānanga o te Kāwanatanga o Washington i utua e te USDA, me te putea $1 miriona mai i te Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. Ko te whakawhānui ake i te whatunga e kiia ana he taahiraa nui ki te whakarato i ngā raraunga me ngā mōhiohio kounga teitei ki te hunga e hiahia ana.
Kei ia teihana he taputapu hei ine i te āhua o te hau me te oneone. Ka inehia e ngā taputapu whenua te tere me te ahunga o te hau, te haumākū, te pāmahana o te hau, te hihi o te rā me te ua. Inehia te pāmahana me te makuku o te oneone i tētahi hohonutanga motuhake i raro i te whenua.
"E whakawhirinaki ana ā mātou kaihanga ki ngā raraunga huarere i ia rā hei whakatau kaupapa nui mō ā rātou pāmu. Ka pā tēnei ki te whakato, te whakamakuku me te hauhake," te kī a Tamas Houlihan, te kaiwhakahaere matua o te Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA). "Nō reira, e tino harikoa ana mātou mō te āheinga o te whakamahi i te pūnaha teihana huarere a te heke mai."
I te marama o Pēpuere, i whakaaturia e Kucharik te mahere mesonet i te Huihuinga Mātauranga Kaiahuwhenua WPVGA. I roto i te hunga whakarongo a Andy Dirks, he kaiahuwhenua nō Wisconsin, he kaimahi tahi hoki ki te Kāreti Ahuwhenua me ngā Pūtaiao Ora o UW-Madison, ā, i pai ki a ia tana i rongo ai.
"He maha ā mātou whakataunga ahuwhenua e ahu mai ana i te rangi o nāianei, i ngā mea rānei e tumanakohia ana e mātou i roto i ngā haora, i ngā rā rānei e whai ake nei," te kī a Dilks. "Ko te whāinga he penapena wai, matūkai me ngā hua tiaki hua ki ngā wāhi ka taea e ngā tipu te whakamahi, engari kāore e taea e mātou te angitu ki te kore mātou e tino mārama ki ngā āhuatanga o te hau me te oneone o nāianei me ngā mea ka puta i roto i ngā rā e tata mai nei.", te kī a te ua nui ohorere i horoia ngā maniua i whakamahia tata nei.
He mārama ngā painga ka kawea mai e ngā takawaenga taiao ki ngā kaimahi pāmu, engari he tokomaha atu anō ka whai hua mai.
"E whakaaro ana te Ratonga Huarere ā-Motu he mea nui ēnei nā te mea ka taea e rātou te whakamātautau me te whai wāhi atu ki te mārama ake ki ngā huihuinga tino kino," te kī a Kucharik, i whiwhi i tana tohu tākuta i roto i ngā pūtaiao āhuarangi mai i Te Whare Wānanga o Wisconsin.
Ka taea hoki e ngā raraunga huarere te āwhina i ngā kairangahau, i ngā mana whakahaere waka, i ngā kaiwhakahaere taiao, i ngā kaiwhakahaere hanga me te hunga katoa e pāngia ana e te huarere me te oneone. Tērā pea ka taea e ēnei teihana aroturuki te tautoko i te mātauranga K-12, nā te mea ka taea e ngā papa kura te noho hei wāhi pea mō ngā teihana aroturuki taiao.
"He huarahi anō tēnei hei whakaatu i ngā mea e pā ana ki ō rātou oranga o ia rā ki ngā ākonga," te kī a Kucharik. "Ka taea e koe te hono i tēnei pūtaiao ki ētahi atu wāhanga o te ahuwhenua, te ngahere me te rauropi kararehe mohoao."
Kua whakaritea kia tīmata te whakatūnga o ngā teihana tereina hou i Wisconsin i tēnei raumati, ā, kia oti i te ngahuru o te tau 2026.
